BUTTON FOR HOSE-SUPPORTERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 734,170, dated 511151721, 1903.

Application led December 15,1902. Serial No. 135.291. (No model.)

in connection with a loop-shaped clasp, the

button being placed under the edge ofthe stocking and the clasp being placed over the material covering the head of the button and clamping it thereto.

The improvement consists in the particular construction of the button whereby greater security of attachment of the garment is se-` cured, as will appear, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a button of a hose-supporter embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of a complete hose-supporter. Fig. 3 is a front plan view of what is shown in Fig. 2.

A designates the lower portion of a hosesupporting member, which may be of tape, elastic or inelastic, it being doubled atits lower endto provide two overlapping parts ct a2.V The part a has attached to its end a button supporting baseplate B, which is formed with two parallel loop-formed portions which are slotted to receive the tape a and are united by a central portion b, from which extends the metallic stud C, which has an enlarged outer end. About the stud C is placed an eyelet or sleeve D, comprising a shank d and an extended head E. The shank of the button is formed with vertical ribs or corrugations d. The under part of the head E is also provided with ribs e, the said ribs being formed and disposed so as to be somewhat higher in parts or tapering in form and more widely separated than the vertical corrugations, although springing from the up- `per ends thereof.

5o enough in its upper portion to readily admit the button', together with the portion of the garment fitted upon it, and tapering toward its lower or free end, so that when the button is drawn downward the loop will clamp the material firmly about it laterally and press the lower and side ,portions of it, upward against the ribs e upon the head.

My invention includes unique and advantageous features of construction in that the corrugations of the shank of the button enable it to maintain a firmer hold upon that portion of the garment which is clasped between it and the loop; but the corrugations of the shank may not be very deep or finely cut, for the reason that when made of material Such as Celluloid, which is preferred, although wood, gutta-perch, or similar other material might be used, they would be liable to be broken when forced into their operative position in the lower narrower portion of the clasp. The corrugations e under the head, however, are not subjected to .such stress,

.since the clasp presses only upward against the material covering the button, and they are lpurposely made somewhat deeper and sharper and spread farther apart than the corrugations of the shank, so as to allow the material of the garment to enter between the said ribs and be more firmly held against the possibility of slipping, while at the same time inflicting no injury to the goods. Furthermore, the ribs e being arranged radially with respect to those upon the shank some of them will be at right angles to and some at a more or less acute angle to the line of support, thereby obtaining an additionally secure hold, which will prevent slipping.

Minor modifications may of course be made in the 'particular form of the corrugations without departing from the invention, the cooperation of the vertical and radial corrugations having wider spaces between them being an essential feature of the invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. An improved button for hose-supporters formed with a shank and an extended head, said shank provided with longitudinal ribs or corrugations and the under side of said head having additional ribs arranged radially to those upon the shank but more widely separated. v Y

2. An improved button for hose-supporters formed with a shank having parallel longi- IOO shank and tapering toward their outer ex- 1o tremities.

In testimony whereof 'I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
